It never ceases to amaze me how people that know nothing about you automatically come up with who they think you are just by how you look or who your married to. Even though you would think after being with my husband for 9 years his kids would realize I definitely am not with their father for his money. What money? I was the one with money when we met lol There is an age difference but after nine years don't you think they would open their minds, but people always like to have someone they think they can look down on don't they? Thanks for stopping by.

How about people who has never met you, and yet decided that you are a bad person because they heard it from someone that they met first? I really have little respect for people who just follows the popular opinion, like can't you trust your own judgment that you get swayed by the first opinion that you heard? At first I let it affect me, but then I learned to let it go because honestly, do I want a person like that in my life?

I am with you. Unfortunately, it's the old in-law thing that I guess is just part of being married. I just would think after 9 years they would be over the whole younger woman, older man thing.

@DearAphrodite My husband and I have a 10-year age gap, and I am Asian. So at first there were some friction because there were some thoughts of me being with him for all the wrong reasons. Like you, I also earn more than my husband 
but because husband is a rebel, he did not let me be subjected to any of that drama. He purposely stayed away from situations that would put a strain on us.
Then last year, my BIL married someone from where I'm from, to a much much younger woman. They have a 21 year age gap. I was told by his daughters that he thought he will have luck in finding love since my husband's marriage brought him bliss. Well, it did not turn out quite like it, but that is for another discussion.

@Raine38 I can't expect my husband not to see his children or grandchildren. I just smile and remind myself what comes around gos. Its a reflection of them not me. We mainly go see them to see the grandchildren.

Happens most of the time sadly.
People are quick to judge but slow to understand.
